I need to replace the aux belt and tensioner on my td5 disco. What brands would people recommend? Genuine tensioner isn't horrendous money but I've seen a SNR one advertised as OEM. I'll get a dayco belt.

For these parts genuine is the way to go at least for the belt, Dayco are cr*p, if you want aftermatket get Contitech... That "OEM" term has almost zero relevance these days

It's a good make, all our cambelts are gates however when its dearer than genuine by about 25 quid then genuine is a no brainer
